Starting today, April 23, 2026, Wailulu Bar & Grill at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort will operate under a modified schedule due to planned roofing work. These changes aim to ensure guest safety while maintaining dining availability during the refurbishment period.
Adjusted Dining Options
The refurbishment will primarily affect the restaurant’s lunch service and outdoor seating areas. Here’s what guests can expect:
Lunch Service Adjustments
During the refurbishment, Wailulu Bar & Grill will offer carry-out service for lunch between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Guests can still enjoy their meals, but table service will not be available during these hours.
Evening Table Service
Table service dining will resume at 5:00 PM daily. However, seating may be limited, particularly in outdoor areas, which could be temporarily closed depending on construction needs.
Reservation Availability
While lunch reservations are still visible on the Disney Dining website, some guests have reported errors when attempting to book. It remains unclear whether this is a technical issue or a reflection of updated operating plans. Guests are encouraged to check for updates and plan accordingly.
Timeline for Completion
The roofing work is expected to conclude by June 2026. Wailulu Bar & Grill, which opened in December 2024 alongside the Island Tower, will return to normal operations once the refurbishment is complete.
Conclusion
Guests visiting Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort should be aware of these temporary changes at Wailulu Bar & Grill. While the refurbishment may cause minor disruptions, the restaurant continues to provide dining options to accommodate visitors during this period.
